Year 4 have created Rangoli patterns inspired by Diwali. Rangoli patterns are colourful and bright designs made on the floor by the entrance of a house to welcome visitors. During Hindu festival of Diwali, people create these eye-catching patterns to encourage the goddess Lakshmi to enter their homes and to keep away evil spirits.

Year 4 have started their Science work on Sound this week and have been learning all about how sound is made and how it travels. They had an exciting afternoon today when they made string telephones to demonstrate how sound waves can travel from one object to another. This was a fantastic learning opportunity to find out about Alexander Graham Bell and to create a fair test to see if it was easier to hear someone with a tight or loose string or a short or long one. Great work Year 4.

During October half term there are many free activities on at Tameside Libraries- please see the images attached for more information.
Half term activities
We have lots going on for children and families during the upcoming half term.
I do hope you all have a fabulous October half term holiday, and the children get a break before coming back for our second term in Year 4. This half term will start off with our Science topic of Sound. The children will be finding out about how their ears work, how sound travels and how the telephone was invented and works. We will also be whizzing off around the world. The children will be learning about the Capital Cities, Greenwich Meridian, the Tropics and the Equator.

To finish our Roman topic off, Year 4 have been answering the question- how did the Romans change Britain? They have been fascinated by all the things we use today that the Romans introduced. Their research has led them to find out about the Romans introducing language, money, religion, stone buildings, straight roads, central heating and much more. They are definitely gearing themselves up for our Roman quiz tomorrow. Well done Year 4.
Week beginning the 4th October is national space week. The school immersed themselves in learning about space. They have been fascinated about our solar system, the planets, the moons, space travel, astronauts and other galaxies. Year 2 even went to Jodrell Bank as a trip. Look at how fantastic the schools' display looks.
The whole school have been studying important black historical figures. The children have worked hard to learn and perform poems, find out about segregation and the American civil rights movement, to learn about inspirational figures and their fight for equality, freedom and reduce racism. We all hope in the future for an equal society, where regardless of the colour of our skin, we are treated fairly and with respect.

It was the third and final week of the cross country this Saturday and it certainly was feeling more like cross country weather but that didn't stop the pupils from Broadbent Fold. We had some amazing results with children knocking a minute off their time from previous weeks, pupils finishing in higher ranked positions and we even had George win the Under 9 boys race! It was lovely to see the Broadbent Fold community come together with pupils and parents all cheering on and supporting children in the different races.
